shadcn.io: The Best Place to Find New Blocks for shadcn/ui
Components get you started, but blocks are what ship whole pages fast. Here's why shadcn.io has become our favorite place to find new, production-ready shadcn/ui blocks.

@DovAzencotIf you build with shadcn/ui, you already know the magic: you own the code. There's no black-box dependency to fight — you copy a component in, and it's yours to shape.
But components are the small pieces. A button, an input, a card. The real time sink is assembling those pieces into blocks — a pricing section, a dashboard shell, an auth screen, a feature grid. That's where most of the work (and most of the copy-paste-from-old-projects) actually happens.
That's the gap shadcn.io fills, and it's why we've made it our go-to.
What is shadcn.io?
shadcn.io is a large, actively growing registry of blocks built on top of shadcn/ui — full, composed sections you can drop into a page and ship. Not primitives, but the layouts you'd otherwise spend an afternoon wiring together yourself.
Every block follows the same philosophy as shadcn/ui itself: it's plain code you own, styled with Tailwind, with no runtime lock-in. You install it, and it becomes part of your codebase.
Why it's the best place to find new blocks
A few things set it apart:
- Breadth. Marketing sections, dashboards, tables, auth flows, pricing, testimonials — the catalog covers the pages real products actually need, not just a handful of demos.
- It's fresh. New blocks land regularly, so you're building with current patterns instead of something last touched a year ago.
- Copy-paste, not install-and-pray. Because blocks are composed from shadcn/ui primitives, they read like code you'd have written — easy to customize, easy to theme.
- It plays nicely with the registry. Blocks slot into the same shadcn workflow you already use, so there's nothing new to learn.
How we use it
Our own flow is simple: start a page from a shadcn.io block that's 80% of the way there, then bend the remaining 20% to fit the brand. Because you own the code, that last 20% is trivial — swap the tokens, adjust the spacing, done. It turns "design a pricing page" from a day into an hour.
Neobrutalism ♥ shadcn.io
We're proud to partner with shadcn.io. If you love Neobrutalism's neobrutalist take on shadcn/ui, you'll feel right at home in their block library — same ownership model, same Tailwind foundation, far more ground covered.
